45 minutes to bring your app to its knees the complete guide to load testing
summary
Builds a capacity test for the Taxini web platform focusing on the public gateway using Gatling (run locally with the Maven Gatling plugin and with richer reports in Gatling Cloud). Implements realistic user flows with groups, actions, session-scoped feeders, pauses, and a test gateway to provision tokens and test data. The live run reproduces and quantifies a bottleneck: the service tops out at about 11 concurrent users and returns 503 errors when driven at ~4 requests/sec.
